Today I completed Little House Needleworks design - Sleigh Bells Ring. I did use the DMC conversion on this but for the brown 433 I used 433, 434, and 435 blending them to make the variegated look. It was fun and I like how it worked. I'm going to finish it with some red plaid fabric and twine to hang, but not right away. Busy Stitching WIPs! :) Hope you are all having a great week!! :)
what a great idea to make your own variegated threads !
ReplyDeletevery beautiful piece =)
you have time to finish it...can't wait to see your WIP's first =D

ReplyDeleteThanks Mii, I hope to get some filling soon, and complete the finish of it! :)
DeleteVery cute finish. That's a trick I often use with DMC. Sort of a pain but works really well. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteI've never done it before in all my years of stitching. Don't ask me why, lol But I agree - it did work well! Thanks!! :)

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of blending the threads to get the variegated look - well done!
